eklassical: So, lagbaja your mission is to distort Nlanderz perceptions abt this company eh...

No mind them NL armchair analyst/engineer.
They way some $2m should give them national coverage.
When they dont even know about the NCC licensing and frequency allocation process.

You can as well think of something that will last than delegrating someone who dared to think and worked at it.

Are you for real? so the guy went to NCC to get licensing and allocation. haaaa. Na wa ooooo..WTF. Are you that gullible? Maybe you need to read about wireless routers and frequencies before you start saying things you don't know. You think internet bandwidth is the same as mobile phone coverage?

So the guy collected frequency allocation from NCC? HMMM Okay oo. Did he also tell you that the 2MB/s was capped by NCC? undecided undecided undecided

lagbaja: this guys have simple hot spots, not base stations in the real sense of it. what they have in place is are wireless radios sitting on iron poles. this costs about 50k per point. forget about the N2m base station you are talking about.

At 50k per stand, how does he recharge/charge the wireless radios?

Its wireless routers and repeaters kept all around. shopping centers do this, Universities do this stuff,companies implement this,eateries also. You can even share your broadband at home with your neighbors and allocate bandwidth to them.wireless routers is not common in Nigeria and for home use that why some people here are thinking $2million project is fine for just computer village.

I Agree with this. I dont think you even need a NCC licence to carry out the above. Kudos to him for making money out of it.

Now it show u don't know anything about running an ISP or Telco.
You run an ISP without NCC licence - they shut u down.
You run on an unallocated frequency -NCC shut you down.
Any of your radios or microwaves transmit on an unallocated frequency- NCC takeover.

Oxygen is an ISP .

Note: 2mps is not data capping. It is available bandwidth.

Data capping is when you don't have unlimited download.eg 300m per month.

OP:
"I had to trek from Iponrin to Ajose Adeogun to meet him."
.

The "I had no shoes,I sold firewood or I hawk tomato to go to school" lines seems to have been exhausted. Now this chap is talking about trekking from Iponri to VI. Must every success story be padded? Good for him though.

Well I understand your point, but the cost of doing business in Nigeria is high.
Just imagine it cost us N30m to lay fibers from Saka to Festac.
And everybody wants to collect money local govt, state Agberos just name them.
So o dont underestimate anybody doing business at all.

Let's be candid.
You cannot be a dropout and still be the best medical doctor and some other related courses like that.
This is only achieveable in enterspreneurship.
If you read the article well,you'll see that he had to contact some people for him success.
If those ones had also dropped out like him,
WOULD HE HAVE CALLED THEM?
Pls,lets think and do it right.
IF DROPPING OUT IS THE SOLUTION,
LET EVERYONE DROP OUT AND LETS SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

valid points - Please abeg dont encourage dropping of out school, not everyone who dropped out of school is successful but i bet you have more people that are successful who actually finished school.

i am not going to argue with you. seems you don't understand how it works ,yet you still bring out funny points bring out points that are irrelevant.what has NCC got to do with wireless LAN? Like i said before. ready more about wireless routers before writing rubbish

FYI IEEE is the organization in charge of Wireless frequency not NCC.oxygen does not produce these routers, they only install them. its got nothing to do with NCC. They ensure that all router produced by these manufacturers follows the guidelines.

In regards to you saying oxygen is an ISP company, i wont argue with you but just because he created a campus area network and people having access to it does not qualify for ISP.

What oxygen did in computer village is more like a cybercafe,only this time its wireless.

A campus area network (CAN) is a network of multiple interconnected local area networks (LAN) in a limited geographical area

So u don't know the difference BTW a WWAN and wireless LAN.

So in your mind IEEE license the running of ISP in Nigeria.

I ask u is Oxygen an ISP or not.

To you oxygen is an ISP.

To me its an IT business providing wireless internet services to people in computer village. He has not done anything that qualifies him as an ISP (based on computer village's project)
Wait a minute. are u calling what he did in computer village WWAN ?

Why don't you just give-up this argument of yours.

Oxygen is a tier 3 ISP.

A computer village network is not WLAN using just 100meters radios.
It is a WWAN.

I thought claim to an IT personnel.

Dude i am not going to argue with you. it obvious you are intrigued with the development..its good but its also good for people to understand his concepts

Read what the CEO said

We are partnering with malls on the Island, Surulere, and high traffic restaurants. We already have agreements with all of these people,” he said

Tell me which ISP company partners with malls and restaurants? They provide services. What he is doing is what IT companies in developed countries do. They install provide and manage their network for clients. Just like the network where i am is provided by an outsourced IT company. No body dare calls them ISP. This guy is installing wireless in public areas and where there are lots of people on the move and he is charging for the service. all this thing he is doing is in the UK and its mostly free. He is just smart about his own

kenbee: Start up capital of $2m and U call that a suprise for 7yrs?
That should be above #300m

Give me just #100k & just 3yrs, and see where I shall be.

This Story doesn't Motivate me a bit!
Say that to yourself for the rest of the year if it makes you sleep better, just know that talking the talk ain't the same as walking the walk. A man who puts on his armour should not boast as one who takes it off. Get the drift?

Did you read my post well before jumping into conclusion. i said IT companies install,provide and manage services for client in developed countries .He is installing his own network in public places and charging for the service.

Listen man, i have tried to educate you on this but it seems you still dont get it.

Ok yes, he is an ISP .
Yes. he is tier 1 ISP

Whatever makes you feel better. I am telling you what he is doing is an already existing technology in developed countries but hardly do people charge for wifi in public places.and its mostly installed by business owners or organization that what their client or people to have access to internet.

Organizations have branches a lot in uk and they have a free WiFi zone in their surrounding so people can browse. Did they call them selves ISP companies? undecided or is it because they are not charging clients? undecided

we have a free wifi zone in the building where i work. should we call ourselves ISP company?

Why would a guy who could raise 2mm drop out of school Was it purely to pursue his investment ambition

I have serious doubtssss

U can never understand even if U hit head for ground... From ur statement I can see U are the I must die in 9-5 life and U don't realise ur 9-5 is some ones entrepreneural risk and exploit which if he didn't take U would not be feeling secure there and call it 9-5
